Active Interest Media has acquired the Boulder-based SKI and Skiing magazines, Warren Miller Entertainment and Nastar from the Bonnier Mountain Group. Details of the deal were not disclosed.

The top executives of Active Interest Media, or AIM, whose 86-employee Boulder-based outdoor stable includes Backpacker and Climbing magazines, led SKI, Skiing, Warren Miller Entertainment and Nastar from 1996 to 2003. Back then the properties were known as Mountain Sports Media and publisher Andy Clurman moved the outfit from New York City to Boulder and grew the company by 50 percent. Today, he’s president and chief executive of AIM and he’s enlisted former SKI editor Andy Bigford — who was hired as group publisher for the Bonnier Mountain Group in January — to serve as vice-president and general manager of the ski group. Allen Crolius, the former associate publisher of Mountain Sports Media is handling sales for AIM’s mountain and outdoor group.

“We are getting the band back together,” said Clurman, whose AIM has five publishing groups that corral print and online magazines and events covering horse, health, marine, home and outdoor pursuits. The AIM stable ranges from boat show management services to magazines like American Cowboy, Yoga Journal, Log Home Living and Power & Motoryacht.
